BundleB2B
BundleB2B acts as a complete sub-OS for wholesale commerce, managing multi-tier customer hierarchies, SKU contract prices, and quote approvals directly tied into store APIs. While building a basic B2B registration form with tier discounts is fast, implementing dynamic price resolution at checkout scale and complex account permissions requires significant engineering.
